THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF GLOBAL CHANGE FROM 1945 TO THE PRESENT DAY The world since 1945 has witnessed fundamental changes, notably the increasing influence of the West - particularly the USA - in a variety of spheres, the emergence and collapse of the USSR, the end of colonial empire in Asia and Africa and the escalation of wars and other conflicts in the Third World. In this incisive survey T. E. Vadney examines the key events without ever neglecting the underlying trends. He explores therapid changes in the Middle East, the end of apartheid in South Africa and the aims of American foreign policy. He concludes with a new epilogue in which he examines the direction of post-1945 history as the world enters the twenty-first century.

Reviews for The World Since 1945

Workmanlike survey of international affairs and global trends in the past 70-odd years, going back to the causes and course of World War II before assessing its results. Vadney attends to remote as well as to familiar corners of the world, stresses the importance of national feeling, and carries on past the collapse of the Soviet bloc to the emergence of the USA as, for the time being, the world's only superpower.
